[nio kasgami]

I have a little question...is because me and my friend use different rpg maker vx ace version

me I use the one on the desk and my friend use the steam version...but we work on the same project and i have question if...the two version are compatible...or I really need to have the steam version? for  ''borrow'' the project file?

I just recently got my non-steam version by requesting a non-steam key since I already had it on steam.

Venka is correct, they are both exactly the same (minus cloud saves and steam workshop).

As long as the game files are saved on your PC, both versions can edit the same exact files.

Both Steam and non-Steam versions refer to the same location for projects. For example if you used to use non-Steam, open a project, then switch to Steam, it will open the same project upon start up.

If you are just wanting to file share with a friend without having Steam, then no there will be no compatibility problems. I use a Steam version on one computer, non-Steam on another and use Dropbox to save the file. That way I can work on the project and have no problems between the two.

I think the only time it wouldn't be compatible is if they released a major update for ace and your steam automatically updated, where as him having the disk would need to manually update it. Game files might not sync properly until you're both on the same version, but like everyone said above excluding that scenario there's no problem.
